the crossing used for the road from Manchester to Winchester. This last point is occupied by a detachment from the enemy's troops. Jones' Ford, on the contrary, is without any protection, but the crossing is so difficult that one brigade only is able to clear it before dark. On the right, McCook, following with two divisions the route from Tullahoma to Winchester, has arrived at Rock Creek Ford, where he has met with the same difficulties encountered by Thomas. He has not been able, on the 2d, to set foot upon the left bank, that was defended only by a small body of cavalry, but on which it was hard to land on account of the rise in Elk River. It was only near to the source of this stream that the Federals have been enabled to surmount this difficulty. Turchin's Federal brigade of cavalry, proceeding on the road from Hillsborough to Hookersville, has found the ford at Morris' Ferry protected by a part of Forrest's troops. Mitchell, with his division, soon joins Turchin's command

alla riva Si volge alla acqua perigliosa, e guata; Cosi l'animo mio, cha ancor fuggiva, Si volse 'ndietro a rimirar lo passo Che no lascio giammai persona viva. . . . . As he, who, with distressful breath, Forth issued from the sea upon the shore, Turns to the water perilous and gazes; So did my soul that still was fleeing onward, Turn itself back to re-behold the pass Which never yet a living person left. Longfellow's Translation. The people of the Northern States in the early days of July, 1863, could thus cast a long retrospective look at the experiences which they had just encountered, like the shipwrecked voyager who, landing upon the shore, turns to glance at the angry billows which break impotent at his feet. The events which closely followed the twofold victory at Gettysburg and Vicksburg enabled the North to take in the whole extent of the misfortunes that would have befallen them if Lee had planted his flag upon the slopes of Cemetery Hill and Johnston had succeeded in

ed themselves able to number many partisans among the inhabitants of that State. In the middle of June, Morgan, leaving, with a great part of his forces, the positions which he occupied in advance of Bragg's left wing, had gone into Kentucky on the upper Cumberland River to watch Burnside's preparations against Knoxville. But a few days thereafter he returned to Casey Fork, either to dissimulate his plan of invasion or to respond to the demonstrations made by Rosecrans' cavalry. On the 27th of June he set out from Sparta at the head of two brigades and one battery of artillery, in all 2460 mounted men and four guns. On the evening of July 1st he reached the Cumberland River opposite Burkesville. The flowing stream was very high. The Federals, regarding it as an insuperable obstacle, and being aware that Morgan had re-entered Tennessee, were not watching along the course of the river. Their cavalry had been scattered through the country, so as to give the men and their horses th

counting upon Bragg seeing in this movement a feint intended to cover a serious attack on the other extremity of the line. The troops were massed at the entrance to the routes which they should follow, and the most minute precautions were taken to enable them to pass through the desolate region into which they were about to venture. Following in the rear there was to be a supply-train of full rations for twelve days, one half of the meat being salt, and the other on the hoof. On the 23d of June, while Granger was coming from Triune to take his position at Salem near to the other corps, the demonstrations ordered by Rosecrans were being made at the two extremities of the line. Turchin, on the left, advanced toward Woodbury; Palmer and Minty took the direction of Bradyville, and kept themselves in readiness to support Turchin. On the right Mitchell vigorously attacked the Confederate outposts, dislodged them from the villages of Eagleville, Rover, and Unionville, and threw them
